Investigating Paranormal Activity
Have you noticed there are many websites that give information on paranormal rescue!
Although many have copied the information from the more experienced sites, many do not understand the hands on experience.
Again I have found that these many sites are purely out for publicity and so called hits for each site. The reason I say this is, having seen certain appeals from individuals asking for help, the site is not replying with the neccessary answers, or they are not showing they are communicating with any individual that needs help, on the site.
I take this as the owner of the site is either very inexperienced or if truth known has no idea of the data he or she has written, let alone have the hands on experience to deal with spirit rescue. You may read about it, but to actually be able to professionally help clients can be a very risky buisness and can put spirit and client at risk.
When an individual asks for advice or help within the data you have shown on your site, you should be prepared to supply correct information that is related with the question requested.
True, yes, I know, there can be many unusual people out there but they all deserve an answer. But more importantly the right one!
If your team is serious and wants to learn spirit rescue then find a team that is willing to help you before you advertise.
At this time I have found one site that is spot on with their information and advice. I have yet to find out if they are hands on. This site is on our links section.
Teams who are experienced, if they are truely professional, will offer help to any group, just look at their track record and the work they have completed. Just ask, rather than work from incorrect data you might read from others. This goes deeper than just reading about it, there is an element of understanding what can go wrong but most of all what to do to make it right.
Working with an experienced hands on team is the only way to learn and the advice I would give is to do just that, don’t take the chance of working from a post or a book you have read.
Once you have taken this step forward you will never look back, you are on the next stage of not only understanding yourself but also spirit presence.
Good luck.

No I have not had the gift of sight at this time, I have only seen shadows and light sources with the eyes I have been born with.
My wife Lorraine on the other hand has the gift of sight, hearing and major sensing. On many occasions she has seen spirit and described in detail what she has witnessed.
She has also suffered pain, from spirit transfer. This is what the spirit wants you to know if they were in pain before death, or has inflicted on others before death.
As for Jeff and Nick, I will leave it for them to explain their gifts.
If you do understand how teams work together then you might understand that the more teams are together the more they learn and share their gifts. We are living proof of this as we have learnt a great deal from each individual in the team.
Our strength of protection as a team and individually, has strengthened so much that all negativity we have faced at this time cannot get through and threaten us. This is one of the most important strengths you need, as many problems can occur when negativity rears it’s nasty presence.
I might add that if you are an avid sceptic this might take a great deal of understanding. You have to be in it to believe it, so we are not here to try and convert you, that will happen itself in it’s own time, your time!
Spirit contact is not a straight forward process and it is always different.Some contact is direct and explainable, but others can come in puzzle form and you have to put the pieces, being the evidence from all involved, together to get the answers. Other times you will not receive any information, except one direct answer that the spirit is unsettled and wishes to be released.
Yes we have released many spirits who have needed help to go across. Many of these private cases have been witnessed by the clients in the way of the feeling of calmness at the time and not having the occurrence of the disturbance repeated.
Speaking of clients, we have experienced on some occasions that it is client that has attracted the spirit. There has been an attraction or similarity between spirit and client.
On the other side it can be visitation, or that the spirit is grounded within the dwelling.
As I have said many times, not all spirit need to be rescued. If the event is stable and all parties (spirit, client and the team ) are satisfied with their findings, it is accepted to leave the spirit in peace.
Our work is solely to investigate, rescue and clearance if needed. We do not seek entertainment, but hope to make clear we share our knowledge and skills. What we show on this site is a truthful account of how we have conducted each and every event.
Nothing written on this site is from hearsay, advice is given from the experienced team members who are hands on in all aspects of the work with paranormal activity.
If there is anything you wish to ask us, please do.

I am sorry, but when are groups going to understand that “orb’s” are mainly water or dust.
I have looked at many of these pictures that so called groups have put on their websites, “come on you guy’s”, stop trying to make something out of nothing.
If you are going to succeed in being investigators you need to get to the higher stages in your development.
You need to learn and discover the difference between orb’s and light sources.
As I have mentioned orb’s are mostly reflection of water based or dust based particles. When they tend to be, as we say, stringy or vortex shaped e.t.c. then it is very unusual and worth a deeper investigation.
I am not saying all orb’s are of the above , just 99%.
It seems that most groups are so intent on pleasing their viewer’s that they loose their true value of the investigation.
Have you noticed how a lot of paranormal websites make a mockery with the way they portray their site with music and Halloween type displays.
Well these are groups who say they are serious in their work, “yea, tell me about it”.
Play time and real time.
What! you don’t know the difference!!
Shame on you.
If you want to play, then stick with these groups. If you want to learn and understand, dont. Study these websites, if it’s fun you want then stick with it.
Many groups have the habit of false advertising, and it is very common, they will show that they can do many things, but the lack of experience tells a very different story. Unfortunately many find out when it is too late.
I am trying to say that if a group can make money, have fun, and play at tours, good luck to you. But SAY that on your site! Be honest and say it is entertainment.
The other side of my opinion is the lack of information within advertising on what a group is really experienced and CAN do!
Dont play with what you don’t fully understand.
There is such a major importance between investigation,spirit rescue and clearance. If you work in any of these fields and do not understand all three you should not continue until you have the experience to do so.
Don’t work from hearsay, get it right! Get it wrong, someone will suffer.
Show genuine respect at what you intend to offer all clients, be honest, explain fully what you do and the experience you have. How you portray yourselves is only the first half, the second is can you actually do what you advertise.
If you are honest enough to admit that you cant then at least you know you can learn.
For those teams who are honest and trustworthy, I salute you all and would offer our support whenever possible.
For all the teams that understand what I am trying to say, bless you.

We have been to many private places to conduct either blessings or rescue and have had many unusual events. Some have been pleasant, others very negative and quite nasty and others have shown no evidence at all but have given the client peace of mind.
We would like to say that the work we do is not exorsism and there is no need for the use of objects or tools.
We find it quite amusing at the response of some individuls when they say to us that it is unbelievable. Everyone has their own right to their opinion, but most have never experienced any spirit activity so this is maybe why they have this opinion.
The result has always been successful, each client will confirm our work has calmed or rescued the restless spirit.
Recognised activity mostly takes the route of individul events, and we have spoken to many sceptics who have had their own experiences of which has converted them. They have also said it is easier to be a dis-believer because it is so hard to convince others.
Many groups are of the understanding that all spirits should be rescued.
Our team have found this is not the case. Spirit can be attatched to an individual, either by relationship or something you have in common with them.
We have understood that as long as they are not trapped or disruptive and the client has no objection to them being there, it is not necessary to move this spirit on. We find as much detail as possible and pass this to the client.
There can be confusion with a disruptive spirit, reason being that it cannot get your attention so it has no choice but to make itself heard, therefore it needs answers and if you cannot give them ,it will make sure you find someone who can.
We had a case in Kingston Surrey where a young male spirit was making the dwelling suppressive and banging on walls and doors. We found that this spirit loved music and as the dwelling was occupied by music students who could not communicate with this spirit it became frustrated and disruptive. It had attatched itself to one of the lads because it loved his guitar playing and wanted contact from him.
Once this was explained this spirit was happy to take a back seat knowing that contact with this lad was not possible. The lad was quite happy if the spirit stayed, on condition, he would not be disruptive, also he would mention the spirits name each time he played.
This spirit was not trapped and was there by choice and is there to this day.
If you find the reason to paranormal events then most answers follow. Each decision is based on WHY, only then can you make a decision.
Spirit rescue speaks for itself, it is helping spirits to find their way. For reasons known to them they have missed their time to cross over.
Spirit clearance is very delicate and takes a lot of protection, patience and understanding, it is not to be taken lightly. We would advise only experienced teams attempt such work. This is mostly spirit of a negative sort who do not wish to move on. (for more information see ( www.spiritrescue.co.uk ) We recommend this site and are in full agreement with their advice.
We also conduct investigations which are completely different to spirit rescue.
There is a massive difference in confiming activity and then having to deal with it.
This is where a lot of groups find they are out of their depth and this can upset the activity making it worse in some cases.
This is why we always say, “make sure when you advertise what you do, you can actually do it ! “.
Work safe and be safe. be honest!

Usually it is a repeated occurance within it’s time.
Where a Spirit can be communicative. It will respond to anything around it. It will or can react to instruction in real time, meaning anytime.
But remember they are not at your beckoned call.
They will choose who they wish to communicate with and when they do, it is your choice to answer them.
But this does not mean you should ignore them, if you are not ready to communicate then find someone who can because the spirit is looking for answers, which may or may not be directed at you.
It would be for your peace of mind but also the spirit’s.

Hi to all,
My name is Lorraine, married to Alan and I am part of the team.
I am very much the one that likes to be in the background as I don’t like the camera’s and filming but with modern times,needs must.
As Alan say’s, it is very important for our work and followers to see how we work.
I myself will often go off on my own when we are conducting an investigation, thats when my spiritual side kicks in. I have had many experiences, all off camera of course, I suppose when I think back it all started when I was touched by death.
My wonderful Mum passed away, we were very close and I cared for her before hand. I was heartbroken but even though I was at peace in my mind, I didn’t want her to suffer any longer.
Just before Mum passed she told me she had to go as my Dad, who passed eight years earlier, was calling her. I might add there was nothing wrong with Mum’s mind, her illness was physical.
Mum was there for me when she was on this earth plain and she is here in spirit with me now, whenever I need her.
I was in care looking after a lovely lady called “Angela”, who has now sadly passed. I drove up one day to her house and as I looked over at the front garden I saw my Mum in her red coat she used to wear, walking towards me.
I turned my head on hearing a car pull up behind me, it was Alan and as it happens it was the first time we were to meet. When I turned back my Mum had gone.
I am sure, as I was in a very unhappy relationship at that time, my mum was played a part in bringing me and Alan together. We have been married happily for over five years now.
Whenever I am down or troubled she is there for me. She speaks to me and visits me in my dreams, letting me know not to worry as she is fit, well and happy. She has also turned lights on and off to let Alan know she is there. She touches my hair and she has tickled my feet. So I think that is where my senses opened up.
I have only just made the decision to part with my mum’s coat and threw it away just a few months ago.
When I wander on my own at any investigation I get many spirits getting my attention. I have seen, heard and felt but I would not call myself a medium or anything like that, I am just susceptible to this and I think anyone can have experiences. You just have to embrace it without fear and have an open mind.
One day I was riding my bike to work at 6.30am, on the pavement as I don’t do roads. I was peddling quite fast and as I looked left I saw a lady walking across the common. She was walking towards me and was dressed in dark colours with a shawl around her shoulders and her hair tied back tight.
I was getting concerned that if she got any nearer I would knock her over. She walked out right in front of me and I braked, nearly flying over the handlebars. She just dis-appeared on impact.
I was bursting to tell Alan, but I would have been late for work.
That lady was visitation and was more than likely on her way to work, from years gone by, spirit are everywhere.
A lot of people are afraid of anything they dont understand. Myself, I feel honoured that spirit comes to me and lets me see, hear and feel them.
Well that’s a little about me, till next time.
Lorraine.

Ghosts maybe but EVP, well yea.
Time and time again during our investigations we have checked our filming and found
strange but clear voices on the recording. This I might add has not been the voices
of any of the team.
What does make me wonder is occasionally we hear certain noises or voices by human
ear, but more seems to get recorded without the team noticing it and we know at the time
we were near that area or we were actually asking questions.
I remember on one occasion we were discussing why a certain spirit would frighten the
child that lived in the house we were investigating, there was nothing heard at the time but
when we checked our filming we heard a frail woman say “Oh Oh Sorry “. This I might add
came out on all four Mic’s on the cameras, which were placed in different rooms.
It makes you wonder why we did not hear this at the time. Spirit work in unusual ways and if they want you to hear then you will, but in many cases it is later you find the answers of which they chosen in their way to show you. A bit like a puzzle sometimes, they let you work it out.
On another occasion we have been given names through thought, I mean to say they are put into your head and at the time you mention these to the team for record purposes. Two names were mentioned on this night. When the filming was checked two male voices were heard and they spoke to each other mentioning these names that were given to us.
Again it was the spirits choice for us not to hear directly.
I can never understand, they had the choice to communicate directly but did not and we find this to be an ongoing situation. OK yes it would be so easy to talk face to face as we say, but hey, I think even they would not want it that easy.
As I have said we all have experienced individual words that have been said to us by spirit but as for a full conversation, Phew!!!!!!. would’nt that be something to write home about.
It is wonderful when the team works together, mainly through thought. We all get certain pictures or words at the time and when we discuss these recieved thoughts they bring out a whole picture or explanation of what is around us. Each member of the team is used by spirit presence and given a piece of information which when linked together gives us on many occasions many answers.
As an individual you never stop learning in this line of work as there are always new things that you link to, and as a team the link with each other has no boundries. You become very strong together.
I have just thought of another investigation myself and Jeff were doing. It was at the Kings Arms Royal Hotel and we were discussing about a noisy fan in the bar area. I had said to Jeff, ” Is that fan sucking out or blowing air into the room”.
When we checked our filming at that time I had asked the question, a voice was heard to say “Blowing”.
This was not any of the teams voices as there was only me and Jeff there.
Well like we said we always seem to attract some sort of communication, which is why we are there of course.

Its all very well investigating venues, but how do you work out what is there and how you deal with it. So many teams rush in and try and clear regardless. The first part is sense what is there. It is the client that will tell you if it is a problem or not.
But it is the team that must decide if the spirit needs to be moved on.
Not all clients want a spirit moved on but the team must assess the situation and if they feel that a spirit is trapped then recommend they must be released.
Not all spirits need to be cleared.
Spirit can be attracted to an individual, they feel safe around them but as I have said, is the situation correct? If the client is content and the spirit is calm then the team would not take any action. It would be investigation only.
Many times we have found there is reason for the visit. Find out why!
If we find that it is a possession, I mean it is a spirit that does not want someone living in the dwelling that they lived in, then we persuade the spirit to move on by explaining they have passed and have no claim on material things anymore and that there love ones are waiting for them. If on the other hand they are in visitation, which means they have moved on but have returned we would use stronger methods if persuasion fails.
Every team has its own methods of heavier clearance and each method can be very strong with a very close connected team, it is all to do with the gifts that each individual team member has.
I am not prepared to disclose our method as this is very personal to us.
This again is used for negative spirit of which can be very aggressive and disruptive. Yes we have had dealings with negativity on many occasion’s and some cases have taken several visits to clear successfully.
Yes we have been touched, pushed, had objects move, heard sounds e.t.c. It is knowing what you are dealing with that is so important, if you don’t get it right then it does make matters worse. This is why we try to ask other teams if they have limited experience then don’t attempt it. A lot of the time we are called out to tidy up other teams mistakes.
We feel that we are guided with our work and by the success of our services to date we also feel that we have learned and are still learning to conduct our clearances with the respect and honesty that it deserves.
It is an overwhelming feeling when a spirit moves on and even more overwhelming to know that they are safe.
This is why a team should be experienced and knowledgeable in their procedure.

Four years ago my wife and I were interested in ouija boards and decided to
conduct a six month survey.
What an eye opener!!!!!!
The first advice we would give is that it is very important to know how to open
and close this serious toy. Yes it was classed as a toy many years ago, but now
beware as this has become a problem to many people.
We found in our opinion that the spirits that came through were only too pleased
to give you answers that you wanted to hear and there were many that gave stories
that were so descriptive, but when we tried to trace names and dates etc, there
was no evidence ever found to their stories.
At one time we allowed a certain group to join us and we found that all they wanted
to do was upset and tease spirit, hence we disbanded with this group, but due to the
lack of understanding and respect from this group it had caused two spirits to
reside in our house. They were both monks and although they were not a problem to
us we felt that they must move on and had to conduct a clearance around the whole
of the dwelling.
This is where our advice is for they people who play with ouija boards. Opening and
closing this board is essential, and if you get it wrong then you will allow any spirit to
stay within the dwelling that you are conducting you session. Some spirits are gentle
but believe us when we say that there are some real nasty ones out there, and they
can change the way you feel over a short period of time, without you knowing they are
there. This is in the way of depression, mood changes and at times can cause a
build up in your temper.
On the brighter side we have had relations and friends come through and give us the
answers that has confirmed who they are. Yes it might sound far fetched but believe
me it was a survey and we have no reason to lie about our true experiences.
We believe the board is safe to use if you follow the correct preceedures, if not then
you are going to have problems of which you will have no control over unless you
get professional help.
I think you have to be positive when asking questions as you can lead spirit into
giving answers of which you want to hear. Use questions which do not give away
personal details.
On one session we conducted a spirit was contacted and I asked if he could see us,
his answer was no, he could only hear us. On another occasion it could see us but we
were in spirit form.
Another time I wrote a number on a piece of paper without the team seeing it, I placed
it at the back of my head so again nobody in the team could see it but the number was
showing behind me. I then sat back from any contact with the board and asked the
contacted spirit to tell what number was behind my head. The planchett went straight to
the number six. This was the number I had written and it was only then that I showed
the team, or should I say the shocked team this number I had written.
There are so many unusual events that we covered on the survey and believe me we were
amazed at some of the results. It is a great communicator but I believe it is the inexperienced
spirit that come through most of the time. If used in the correct way it can be quite an eye
opener, but again beware if you do not open and close the board in the correct way.
cheers Alan.

I try to imagine how I would feel if Ididn’t have the experience I have gained over the years.
Yea, towards paranormal happenings I mean!
Well I can honestly say I can’t tell you because so much has happend to point me to continuing to work with my belief of accepting the existance of spirit. Nothing can sway me from knowing that there is something there and I believe that our team can help spirit, well not only believe but know through our work that we do help.
We have conducted many successful clearances and have investigated many venues. As individuals and as a team we are dedicated to working to a correct proceedure and do not exagerate or add any false information to our findings.
I hear you thinking….yea,yea.
Well work it out for yourself………we know spirit is there, we are not out to prove anything, and we genually believe we are helping the public and spirit. Finally we are successful in what we do.
How many individuals, that experience something unusual, can honestly say that it was definately imagination. Many have investigated their own event and even when they cannot find a reasonable answer, they will still dismiss any paranormal involvement.
My view on this is possibly FEAR.
Yes fear is right at the top of my list because it’s the same old story, if you cant see it then your afraid of it. On the other hand if they do see it then many are afraid anyway. Also many do not understand it. By that I mean that if youare chosen to see or experience this activity then it is for a reason. Yourself or some experienced needs to find out why this spirit has visited you.
Many calls and contacts have found that once we have explained this they are more relaxed to allow us to work with them and solve the reason for the visit.
I am still very surprised that many of the teams that work with paranormal events are still looking for proof. They seem transfixed on proving the existance of spirit. I believe that they are loosing time in there efforts. Some believe they will get the one cool picture or film to solve it all. This is what I call the troubled investigator. Their process is not for helping and investigating why spirit is present, so no way will they know how to deal with it if they ever find it. Nine times out of ten they cause more problems by not handling the situation in the correct way. Not always their fault, usually it points to lack of experience or incorrect training.
In this line of work you never stop learning and if some think they know it all then steer clear of them, they will cause you more problems than you can handle.
If an individual wants to join a group then I think they need to find out what they want to learn. If you are looking for fun and screams then stick to the tour groups, but if you are serious and want to learn and understand then choose a small group that has a good medium with them. And ask if they are willing to train you. If you are willing to learn then you are half way there. Remember you will never stop learning and experiencing new things.
Many people ask are we scared, and we answer NO. We are not saying we dont jump or shout now and then but as you understand more about spirit the element of fear does not effect us at all. Negative or peacefull we do not fear any.
Protection is very important and teams have their own individual ways of doing this. Whatever is good for you is the answer to this.
Our team work in very simular ways to this and are always protecting each other. The longer a team works together the stronger they become and they share each others gifts. It’s amazing how we connect with each other and this is why we have very good results with our work.
You will always get the profit makers, jokers and the look at me I run a paranormal group types when you enter the world of spirit activity.
All you have to do is find out if they are genuine…….Good Luck!
